| First Music Selection |
During traditional weddings the congregation (the guests) may sing certain hymns related to marriage. Alternatively, a soloist may be chosen to sing a song with special meaning for the bride and groom.
This creates a great opportunity for the flower girl and ring bearer to be seated as well as for the entire wedding party and minister to "take their places".
Below are some examples of hymns that are often used:
- O Perfect Love
- Hear Us Now, Our God and Father
- Heavenly Father, Hear Our Prayer
- Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
- Eternal God, Before Your Throne
- Our Father, by Whose Name
- Glories of Your Name are Spoken
- The King of Love My Shepherd Is
- Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life
- All Creatures of Our God and King
- Now Thank We All Our God
- Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
- Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
- Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
- Let All Things Now Living
